In Sunday's episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 6, David and Sheila talked about the part David would play in helping his girlfriend out financially to fix up his house.

David, Sheila and David's interpreter go out to discuss the upcoming renovation and Sheila told him that she wanted his help since she didn't have a job. While she didn't want to initially ask for his help, she noted that she could never afford to make the necessary renovations by herself to ensure a safe environment for her son and father.

Sheila asked the interpreter to ask David about how much money he makes and noted that she believed that he made a lot of money. However, David clarified that he was not a rich person but that he was more than happy to help her because he loves her.

During the chat, David advised that she get a job. After that, thet both met with a contractor who offered them an approximate quote of $100,000 pesos, which roughly translates to $1700.

David said:

"I want to help Sheila, but I had no idea it would cost so much. Sheila and I still need to discuss what life looks like for me in terms of fiances. We need to talk about the reality of my situation."

David later revealed that he is not rich and cannot pay for the whole thing. He noted that he works two jobs and that it's still hard for him to sustain a comfortable life.

David told her that while he could not help her out completely, he offered to meet her halfway and transfer her some funds that would help her find a job.

"My situation here in the Philippines is so difficult. I had a job before the pandemic but it's very hard for me to find work right now. I feel embarrassed, but I don't have anyone in my family that can help me financially."
